Planning for that initial Car Show was done in the three weeks prior to that first eventful Friday evening. That year was a memorable one for many people. First, the car that was undoubtedly the Star of the Show was the General Motors experimen- tal Corvette - the Manta Ray. With this car, one could look at what perhaps might be in store for the future. It was felt by many that our first'try was a success but a great deal could be done to improve the over-all promotion of the Show. To achieve this end, Shell Canada was approached to act as a prime sponsor for our second Car Show. Agreement was reached with Shell Canada. now one of the cornerstone sponsors of the Autofest Autorama. Our second year featured a large selection of antique cars from the Craven Foundation. There were also a number of antiques from private collections, plus street rods, motorcycles, drag Tracing cars, road racing cars, and exotic machinery such as a Pantara and a Ferrari. As in every show, there must be a star . . . in 1973 we featured a car that you had' will to see to believe, It was named the "Bathtub Buggy and featured everything one might find in a bathroom, including the main require- ment, as well" as a tub, vanity, mirror, tissue dis- penser. and even a shower- head. Following our 1973 Show, it was decided to exphnd-#ain and also add a live Out- door Show. Suggestions were made as to how things could be improved and the net result of these meetings will be the Show vou will see this September 14 and 15. The name has been changed this vear to Autofest Autorama and. again, it will be held in the Oshawa Civie Auditor- ium. Corner Highway 2 and Thornton Road. and will be open to the public from 1 to 10 p.m. each day. As in the past. there will be a selection of cars this year to tickle the fancy of even the most critical viewer. From Tampa. Florida we will have Don Garlit's rear engine dragster and from Chicago and England there will be Can-Am and Formula One cars from the UOP shadow teams. The Formula One car can be inspected at close quarters before it runs in the Canadian Grand Prix the following weekend. Show cars from Detroit will include '"The Wood Burner" and the "Brinks Express'. From Canada we have the *"Dinoland" show car from St. Catharines for the children.
